Your butterfly photos are just amazing but that dreaded four letter word (snow) is what jumped at me. ugh. I'm so not ready for winter and now everyone from the Farmers Almanac to the locals are predicting a horrid season ahead for us. It makes me shudder. So I guess all the more reason to appreciate the last days of summer, right? Hopefully your beautiful susans will hang on for quite a while to come. Have a great holiday weekend. <br />PS Fun to learn those new tidbits about you ~ I would never have guessed you were an introvert from "meeting" you over the Internet.

I hope you have many more days to sit on that ladder (well, a bench does sound a little more comfortable) and enjoy the show of Susans. The few I have are just beginning to come into their own and putting on quite a show. Since I made the mistake of planting some taller flowers in front of them, I may have to try a ladder, too:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-6269348725159738522009-08-31T08:58:03.079-05:002009-08-31T08:58:03.079-05:00Lovely, just lovely.
